It is a good decision to go in for a Masters course. But the stream to be selected needs to be decided by you. You need to be sure on the which of these will help you in making a career of your choice. You need to decide whether you are interested more in the research field or legal aspects. If you are interested in research then clinical research will be more apt. If otherwise you can choose drug regulatory. You decide on the basis of the job profile you will have. Like if you pursue drug regulatory you will be more into looking at the legal aspects in use of various chemicals and compositions. After completing clinical research you will have options like joining laboratories, pharmaceutical companies etc. Either of them have good opportunities for you.

It is important to decide on the area of specialisation based on ones interest. You have to decide based on the kind of job you will be looking for. After clinical pharmacy course you will have options like joining any pharmacy, going in to the research field. In the research field you can either join any laboratory or join pharmaceutical company. After the drug regulatory course you will be eligible to join the legal field. You can also become a drug regulatory officer. There are research positions for these candidates too. As the interest of each individual varies it is important that the candidates choose their own career path.

To pursue Post graduation in Pharmacy is a good choice of yours,Drug Regulatory Affairs and Clinical research both have their own values,but PGD in clinical research will be more helpful for you,with the PGDCR you can work easily in abroad also,and it is somewhat like the Pharmacology,the syllabus is almost same as Pharmacology,so it will be more interesting to read,but you should pursue it from a reputed institute.after completing PGDCR you can work in any company,hospital as a clinical Researcher.

Dear,

Both the courses you have told are having huge scope, it surely depends on you for which course you want to go on the basis of your skills, potential and interest. You have to analyse which kind of job profile will suits your interest , and you can perform the best. If you go for Drug Regulatory Affairs it would lead you to deal with the chemical composition, and clinical research will provide you research in laboratory kind of job, both the streams have good scope, so you decide in which stream you have maximum interest.
